How do you clean your air filter? This is what I do on my WR250:
1. soak the filter in Kerosene for few minutes, squeezing it to remove dirt
2. repeat the same process but in soapy water
3. wash the filter in warm water to remove soap
4. let it dry completely
5. reinstall it (using grease in the contact area)
My problem is that it takes ages to dry. I have tried using Gasoline instead of Kerosene and the drying process is much quicker. But I some people have told me not to use a high-flash solvent (like gasoline) to clean the air filter. Why I can’t use gasoline? What is the problem? If I shall not use gasoline, can I use a hair dryer to reduce drying time?
Thanks.
